The Color selections are limited to those in the drop-down list and are carried in the file as the first letter of the color

name. Any keyboard character can be used for the Symbol in addition to the ones available from the drop-down list.

Symbol is a holdover from previous versions where the program did not have an Icon selection.

The Datecode is normally set to the present date. The numerical extension gives you the total number of waypoints

entered for that date. You can change the Datecode and it will then increment from the new setting as you add

waypoints.

You can elect to have a typing sound indicating acceptance of each waypoint. This sound tells you where you are when

you are not watching the screen. Remember that you can enter multiple waypoints completely from the keyboard

(without touching the mouse). Just use the <enter> or <tab> key to move through the fields.

The computer's function keys from F2 to F10 can be programmed to hold common phrases or words to use when

entering data into the various fields. Pushing the Program Function Keys button at the bottom of the window allows

you to program them. For example, loran or Lat/Lon data often has the first several characters the same. They can be

programmed on the function keys if you find that handy.

Push Next Waypoint to go to the next waypoint or OK, Done to exit this routine. The program will save each new

waypoint to the disk at this time, so that when you are done or if you suffer a power failure, all the waypoints are safely

stored away.

The Set field preferences button opens a form for setting the way the fields behave, that is, it allows you to hide or

show several of the fields. It also lets you skip over fields that you are not going to enter data into while typing in new

waypoints. This is a convenience that allows you to keep your hands on the keyboard and not use the mouse while

minimizing keystrokes. See screen shot above.

2.5 Delete Waypoints

Select (highlight) the waypoint by clicking on any one of its fields before using this menu item. Alternatively, you can

DELETE a waypoint by clicking on the waypoint number in the left most column of the spreadsheet. The program

always asks you to confirm your deletion, as, once it is done, it cannot be undone except by abandoning this version of

the file and reloading the one from the disk. That is, deletions only happen to the copy in memory and not to the one on

the hard drives. To save the edited version, you must save the file when you are done.

2.6 Find Hot Key Ctrl-F

FIND locates a match to what you enter in the first box of the dialog shown below. It looks in the field (column)

selected by the second box. The search field choices can be a specific column or any column. It will find the first

instance of that sequence of characters in the field(s) in the current file. It will then scroll to and show that waypoint

highlighted with a yellow background. To continue searching for the next instance, use FIND NEXT. The FIND

routine ignores case unless the MATCH CASE checkbox is checked. .
